I have been having problems like that with it lately. Sometimes it's just slow to load, other times I will get a "server not responding" message. Other sites are okay so I don't think the problem is at my end.

For about on hour every day around the time the site goes offline, it's painfully slow on all browsers. After it's shut down for it's normal fifteen - twenty minutes, it it's on and off slow for a while and then seems fine.

If it happens in the middle of the night, 3am EST, it's the server database getting backed up. If it happens in the early morning, about 8:30 am EST, it's just that everyone is waking up, getting to work, firing up their computers and logging into Ehell all at the same time.

Does anyone else find that the site works OK for a few minutes, and then it's very slow and sluggy?

Every single morning between 6:30 and 7:30 this happens to me. It's almost gotten to the point where I consider skipping Ehell during the morning hours because it's so frustrating. And that makes me sad.

I figure it's just a lot of traffic at that time of day, causing the site to freeze up and/or slow down. There are a LOT of people accessing this site, and I bet the mornings are the busiest.

With the migration to a new data center and band new server, the hope is that the slow down we see each morning around 8:30 AM EST-ish (and really noticeably on Monday mornings) is a thing of the past.

Let me know if this is still a problem.

It seemed to be fine yesterday after the chnage took place, but his morning I got on but then the site wasn't responding. This was about 9:25am PST and I was just able to get on and it is now 9:40am. It seems the same problems as before this most current (yesterday) change.
